   Well, that's what we thought, so on the remote server we added Network   
   routing definitions and a DNS server record under the VPN server settings.

   >the IP address?   
      
   Before and after doing the above, no. The only address on the network that   
   responds to ping, is the ip address I'm being given on the remote network.

   There's no WINS server running, but the DNS is set up correctly - the client   
   end picks up the ip in the correct range, the correct gateway machine and   
   the correct subnet mask.   
      
   > Technically a VPN only handles the IP level connection.   
      
   Right...unfortunately attempting to map a drive the 2nd server using the   
   internal (or even external ip address) fails. The firewall rules on both   
   sides as far as we know are all correct. The 2nd machine I'm trying to get   
   to is also a Mac OS X server...   
      
   Thanks for the help.
